Forum name change

Sounds like a possible experiment. Perhaps you could talk to Percy about creating a second account and seeing if this holds true. If I may make a few suggestions, why don't you try to portray yourself as an atheist who thinks the moon landings were faked. I would bet that you would end up with the same rating as you do now.

Like I said, you should test it. Try it out on another forum if you want.But in the end, posts like yours remind me of this cartoon: Instead of whining perhaps you should figure out why your arguments don't carry any weight. You seem to be using your paranoia as a crutch.

"Prior to 1990, the popularity of Christianity had been stable in the U.S. About 87% of adults identified themselves as Christians. The country then experienced a major change. Significant numbers of American adults began to disaffiliate themselves from Christianity and from other organized religions. By 2008, the percentage of Christians had reached 76% and is believed to be continuing its decline."
sourceSo the chart is pretty darn close, as is the humor. The poor 76% majority is feeling persecuted. If the nation was 76% atheist and 12% christian you might have a leg to stand on, but you don't. You do understand how silly it is for someone who belongs to a 76% majority to whine about persecution to a group that makes up about 12% of the population, right? When was the last time you saw a state constitution that forbid christians from holding public office? I can show you a handful that ban atheists from holding public office.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

In the survey about 75% of respondents were self-described christians. This fits nicely with this thread being that you claim self-described christians in this forum are treated more harshly just because of their self-identified religious beliefs. According to you, all one needs to do is describe themselves as a believer in order for their rating to go down. Therefore, self-identification is the right number to go with.So, again, you are part of a 75% majority and you are whining about being persecuted to a group that makes up about 10-15% of the population and has long been looked down upon by the 75% majority. Have you found that state constitution that bans christians from holding public office yet?

Can you name one theory in science that you accept as true? In that theory, where does it describe the actions of the supernatural?Do you likewise reject the theory of gravity because it does not include supernatural forces? Do you likewise reject Germ Theory because it leaves no room for God to spread plagues?
